Q: Why did the German potato salad get detention?
A: It was too hot for school—and kept bacon the rules!
A beloved family recipe passed down with love, Oma’s Hot German Potato Salad is tangy, savory, and just a little sweet—packed with crispy bacon, sautéed onions, and a warm vinegar-mustard dressing. This is not your standard mayo-based potato salad.
